"By taking advantage of Togetherwork's economies of scale, Protech will be better positioned to solve the common challenges of a fast-growth software company."
Kevin Bruffey continued, "Our family wants to relay our gratitude to everyone who has contributed to growing Protech, which started out in the basement of our family home in the mid 80's, to over 100 employees today." Most of the Bruffey's will remain on with Togetherwork to assist with the transition and over time, some will move into long-term roles within Togetherwork, while some will be moving on to the next chapter of their lives.
